Tiivistelmä
In this article, we describe the provision of the 10-credit study unit on the evolving multisectoral promotion of health and well-being (“Innovative Multidisciplinary Promotion of Health and Well-being”), developed in connection with the Co-creation orchestration (CCO) project. The unit is part of the core competence studies in nursing education, and is completed towards the end of studies. Graduating public health nurses have multisectoral competence regarding the promotion of health and well-being, which is based on a multidisciplinary knowledge base. Public Health Nurses work in maternity and child welfare clinics, in school and student health care, occupational health, health centers, services for the elderly as well as in non-governmental organizations.
The promotion of health and well-being draws on scientific research results and is based on a holistic view of humans. People are seen to be mental, physical, social and spiritual beings, and all of these dimensions interact in us. The promotion of health and well-being is based on multidisciplinary knowledge and multisectoral operations. At the core of operations is the identification and strengthening of the existing resources of individuals or the community as well as the identification of potential new resources.
The idea of employing service design and co-creation methods in all activities is a key choice in the new strategy of Laurea University of Applied Sciences. What this means in practice is that both staff and students are proficient in the service design philosophy and know how to apply co-creation methods in workplace development. One of the ways to meet this challenge stemming from the strategic choice is to adopt co-creation as a method for development studies in final-stage nursing education.
